A ferryman works the hand crank of the ferry carrying passengers across the Mopan River to the Maya ruins of Xunantunich. The ferry is near San Ignacio, Belize, and is the only way to access the ancient archaeological site. Motorists can drive their vehicles onto the ferry, which only takes around a minute to cross the river.
